The old questions which have been agitating the country for years past—‘‘bank”—“‘currency”—“‘dis- tribution” —“tarift”—appear to be giving way under the influence of new questions, andanew impulse which begins to prevail extensively all over the coun- try,inrelation to the recent springing up of the Texas annexation question, and also the negotiation re- lative to the Oregon territory. These two questions have sprung up during the last two or three months, to an importance that no one would have anticipa- Almost every paver that we see is now discussing with more or less excitement the question, and many of them also the negotiations on the Oregon question. In the Legislatures of the various States, move- ments are made in reference to these questions ; and we perceive in the important legislatures of Pennsylvania and New York resolutions directly affecting the Texas question have been introduced. In every part of the country the discussion increases and the excitement widens. What is the reason of this sudden springing up of excitement on these important questions, that ap- It is very easy to see and ap- preciate the causes, though latent, of this eytraordi- nary sensation, or explosion, as it may be called, all over the country. The Texas question as well as the Oregon are founded on the same gene- ral principles—the acquisition of territory, the enlargement of the boundaries of the United States, and in that aspect they bring us into conflict with the ambition, policy, and interest of foreign na- tions. It will be thus at once perceived that these questions acquire their importance from their bear- ing on the great question of peace or war. are war questions in everv sense of the werd, and thus they become invested with that overwhelm- ing interest which has produced such an excite- ment, especially amongst the commercial classes. It is evident, therefore, from the sudden spring- ing up of this excitement, that there is a strong war party in the United States, and that this war party is founded on the natural ambition of nations, and on the avowed purpose of ultimately comprehend- ing within the extended grasp of this government the whole North American Continent. movement of this new war party was principally made in the Western States and under the auspi- ces of Mr. Senato; Benton of Miasouri. his associates seized upon the Oregon Territory Question, as one likely to excite much feeling, and whose popularity was calculated to create much capital amongst the democratic party in the The other question founded also on the same general principles of acquisition of territory and territorial aggrandizement—the annexation of Texas—has been seized upon by Mr. Tyler, the President, and is even going far beyond the Oregon Question in creating a prodigious ex- citement throughout the country, and in stimu- party to an extent Here, therefore, are ted a year ago, annexation of Texas pear to be yet far off ? lating the war one would have supposed. twe different political interests, each already seiz ing upon important questious connected with our foreign aisisey cleus ie rutre pew with other goveruments on this Continent, with the governments of Europe. must recollect, there is also a strong war party; So In the former country, Lord Palmerston and the whigs head the war party—in the latter, M. Thiers and the republican and “ movement” men. Now, as soon as the views of our people and government in relation to territorial aggrandizement, are spread before the politicians of Europe, we may expect that the several war parties of the western nations on that continent will immediately take ground against us, for their inte- rests are contrary to ours, and their purposes are in direct hostility to ours, hence, will come collision of opinion, anticipating and ushering in, collision of physical force in battle. It will be seen, therefore, that there is no pros pect of any settlement of these impertant question: in relation to Texas and Oregon; that they are cal- calated from their very nature, from their founda- tion, to widen and increase, and enlarge their boun- daries of agitation and excitement until they bring America and Europe to the brink of war. terly impossible to imagine that the impulses of the people of this country towards the South o1 the North or the West, can be checked or retarded by the politicians of the day.

Here it ig, from the | organ of yesterda’ Trian Dinxer.—A publictdinner will be 'given, at the Shakspeare Hotel, in this city, on Friday Evening next, the 29th inst., it being the anniversary of the birth of President Tyler. All those Who feel desirous of paying merited honors to a patriot and statesman, to whom the country is indebted for the settlement of perplexing controversies with fo- reign powers, and the origination of measures calculated to advance the interests and promote the prosperity of our common country, can procure tickets by applying to ei- ther of the following. gentlemen belonging to the Com- mittee of Arran; nts :~ , WILLIAM G, WOOD, ANSON HERRICK FREDERICK A GAY, GEO. FARNHAM, CHARLES FOX, JOHN 8. BOWRON, WM. H. MICHAELS, GEO. D. STRON A. G. BENSON. By this it will be seen, that th ler party, after weighing the balance of probabilities, have at last arrived at the conclusion, that instead of making it a public movement, to make it a table movement. Instead of the play of eloquence and rhetoric ata popular meeting, they will have the play of knives and forks at the Shakspeare Hotel. Instead of holding a meeting which would be broken up by te rowdies of other factions, the Tyler men will “take their ease at their owninn,” quaff the bowl to their success, and drink the Captain’s health with every degree of peace and comfort. This isthe wisest thing they have ever done, and we shall give every aid to the ki‘chen politicians who are endeavoring to get this affair upin the best style. One thing, however, strikes us in this. The committee who have projected this, appear to be utterly abandoned by the principal office holders in this city. Where ate Mr. Curtis, and Mr. Still- well, and Mr. Graham? Echo answers, where? They seem all to take the matter perfectly cool. It is, however, probable, that they will attend the dinaer, as a great many questions besides canvass back ducks will be discussed on the accasion. We understand that this movement has been got up en- tirely by Mr. Geo D. Strong,who is the master spirit of the Tyler party here, and it is highly probable that on this occasion we will have a most impor- tant revelation, respecting various matters and things connected with Wall street. No doubt, Mr. Strong, being one of the committee, will make a speech, and we shall certainly expect from him a full and accurate account of his connexion with the Commercial Bank and North American Trust Company. It will come very apropos at this time. Mr. Graham also can give a second edition —a nice little, spicy, after-dinner narrative of his operations in the North American Trust Company. From Mr. Benson and others we can obtain ex ceedingly amusing and well-seasoned bits of speeches in the way of explanations of the best way to dupe and gull a Chief Magistrate in the matter of contracts for beef and mutton—get hold of the spoils, and prevent the organization of a par- ty which might effect a change in the disposition of tthe spoils. We think there is thus, in all conscience, enough prospect te provoke the ap- petite of any reasonable man, and that this dinner promises to be one of the choicest affairs of the season, Tue Srreers.—During the last quarter of a cen- tury, or the memory of the “ oldest inhabitant,” it is now universally admitted that the streets have not been in as filthy and abominable a state as at this moment. It is not any one street—any retired street—any by-lane—or any single thoroughfare that is obnoxious to this sweeping condemnation, (the only thing they have got in the sweeping way for the last year,)—but every street in the city, short or long, wide or narrow, from the Battery to Union Square, and from river to river, are in a Breet Ataditt and nastiness, compared with UEUs UL © ale decent. Broadwv. ne it isthe norte be pesiieely the most beautiful thoroughfare on continent, is, of course, in the most abominable condition. On a fine day the clouds of dust and sand are equal to those raised by a Sirocco in the deserts of Arabia, and on a rainy day the mud and dirt present such obstacles, that it is altogether impossible to effect a passage without some mechanical contrivance. It 1s on account solely of the ladies, that we complain, for this the two hundred and fiftieth time —the men are so accustomed, now-a-days, to all sorts of dirty ways of getting through the world, that they’re not greatly to be pitied. But the ladies, dear creatures! it would rend the heart of any, but a locofoco Common Council man, to see them struggling through the clouds of dust—bravely »ncountering them up town, with a smile, anda remark that it ‘ does'nt signify much”—still meeting them without many murmurs, as they struggle on, and only yielding in despair when op- posite the Park; where, with their lovely eyes all limmed, their silken tresses powdered with dust, and their dresses ruined—* positively ruined”— they fly for retuge to some friendly refuge from the horrors of Broadway. Their sufferings on a “‘mud- jy day,” we cannot venture to describe. But what man is there, worthy of the “ smile from partial beauty won,” who will not exclaim— “ All curses madded Hecubs gave the Greeks, And mine to boot, be darted on ye— ye worthless, lazy, inefficient municipal officers, whothus keep our streets covered with as much just and filth as are your own doings in the Coun- cil Chamber of the city !

Last mght they had no fewer than six meetings, in different parts of the city. First, there was an immense meeting of the sailors, at the Shakspeare Hotel, numbering probably tilteen hundred or two thousand. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed amongst these hon- est Jack tars, and a number of excellent speeches were made, and all adjourned with a firm reliance on attaining victory the week after next. The se- cond meeting consisted of that useful and indepen- dent class, the butchers. They assembled to the number of upwards of two thousand, at Temper- ance Hall, corner of First Avenue and Houston street. Here the same enthusiastic spirit in favor of reform was evinced. The third meeting was of the carmen. About three thousand of them met at Military Hall, in the Bowery, and the enthusiasm in favor of city reform was indescribable. The fourth was a mass meeting, comprising the 13th and 7th wards, which met at the terminus of Grand street on the East River. The eloquence—the cheers—the enthusiasm of this meeting—astonish- ed all the river craft, and made the sailors and sloops almost stop ontheir way. The fifth meeting was a mass meeting of the ninth ward, at the old stand, corner of Hudson and Christopher streets, About three thousand were collected here, and the greatest spint and vigor was manifest in all the proceedings. Then in the Ist Ward the sixth meet- ing was held, at the Henry Clay House, in Wash- ington street, and a very large and enthusiastic meeting it was. The aggregate numbers at all these meetings wes about 15,000 men. This certainly presents a for- midable force at the approaching election, and we are more and more satisfied from the complexion of these meetings, the enthusiasm which was ex- hibited, and the numbers in attendance, that this party has the strongest hopes of effecting a reform in the city government. The next great meeting of this reform party will be held at the Exchange on Thursday, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. It will be a mass meeting of all the wards, and will undoubtedly be the greatest meeting ever congre- gated in Wall street or New York—it will be a se- cond edition of the great mass meeting at Wash- ington Hall, which had to adjourn to the Park in order to find room. eguayra.

S. brig of war Law- rence, called upon the President, at the Govern- ment House, the President, after the first saluta- tions were over, advanced to the Commodore, put his arms around him, and having embraced him affectionately, made a brief but a feeling address, in which he spoke of the Commodore asan old companion in arms, who, in es of needand.neril, had chawe b TraLian Oprra.—Borcuese’s Benerit.—Applause and dollars, or te observe the rules of precedence, dollars and applause unquestionably are the great- est desiderata after which every artist aspires. This “ consummation devoutly to be wished,” fell last night in ample measure to the share of our beauti- ful prima donna Borghese, and we do not hesitate to declare that never were bravos and houquets better deserved. Borghese arrived here in a time when the people were literally surfeited with mu- sic. Castellan’s beautiful notes were still fresh in the memory of our dilettanti; a’ great many fol- lowed with their “ mind's ears,” if we are allowed to say so—Damoreau, the queen of song, on her peregrinations in the South, and the enchanting strains produced by Vieuxtemps’, Ole Bull’s and Artot’s bow, had not yet begun to die away. The success which attended the Italian opera on the nights of her performance, is, therefore, the best proof of the power, which her remarkable talent exercised upon the numerous audiences, and this success is so much more commendable, as her voice is far from being perfect. She has in fact only very few good notes, and these are her mid- dle notes; the high ones being rather too sharp and shrill in forte passages, and her few low tones lack vigor and clearness. But if her voice has some natural defects, her method is chaste, cor- rect, and of an unusually superior order. Her vyo- calization is a prodigy of agility, her feeling in- tense, and her ornaments, although not unfrequent- ly overcharged, are near. always uncommonly graceful, Add to these a bewitching acting—Gri- si-like in the opera seria—Tadolini-like in thi buffa—and it is not to be wondered at if she as great a favorite in New York as she was in the Havana. ; The entertainments presented a great variety There was a comedy, containing a faithfal record, how Majocchi fell sick, and how the Puritani are to be given without the part of Sir Richard; the whole spoken, or rather sung, by Mr Wells, with abeauuful accompaniment of hisses and taughter. There were farther, the three acts of ‘I Puritani,” a pas de trois by tne Misses Vallee, which had the honor of an encore—we do not know why—and lastly, a vocal concert by Valtellini, De Begnis, and the beneficiaire. Valtellini’s air, which has the ap- pearance of being by Mercadante, was much ap- plauded, as well as the amusing scena of “ I! fana- tico per la musica.” This piece, which isa great favorite with Lablache, was very well sung. and much better acted, by the veteran De Begnis ; only to be regretted that the orchestra did not fol- low his advice of minding the pianos and fortes in Borghese’s air, where the accompaniment was far from being perfect, and where the violino prime played as if he were going to perform the principal ait. The aria from Bétly is not the same as that sung by Castellan, but only little better; it is more a waltz-tyrolenne, and would hardly have been no- ticed, if it had not been so bewitchingly sung by Borghese. The overture to (a fille dw regiment, which onght to have been performed at the begin- ning of the concert, was given at the end, and could very easily have remained away altogether, as it is a Worthless composition, and shows a poor judgment on the part of the person who selected it On the whole, the performance came off with great éclat—and the house, which was crammed in all parts, evidently enjoyed it very well.

It met with general favor, asthe ef- fect of the law would doubtless be favorable to the reve- All the roads west of Utica have the privilege of carrying froight, but no benefit to the eastern cities is derived from their so doing, as merzhandize in- tended for the seaboard cannot be transported east of Uti- ca unless it goes by the canal. The bill will probably be- come a law before the present session closes. Efforts are making in all sections of the country, from the east to the extreme west, to open that link in the communication be- tween the two extremes. By granting the Utica and Schenectady Railroad the privilege of carrying freight throughout the year, the western roads could be com- pelled to pay toll to the canal through the whole line. At present they carry freight without paying the State a bonus, for the privilege, have greater Schenectady road, whereas in justice they should restrictions, and enjoy the same privileges. The canals through this State are the last opened for navigation. Those of the North, South and West, are navigable some time before ours. ‘The Welland Canal, through Canada, connecting the wa- ters of Lake Erie with those of Ontario, opens on the firat of April, nearly three weeks before the Erie Canal of this State. The Pennsylvania and Ohio canals have been in active operation for more then ten days, while our’s will remain shut up for nearly a month longer. The Hudson river opened nearly a month earlier this year then it did last, and still the canal is kept closed up to within about a fornight of the time it was mude navigable last year.— ‘There appears to he some useless delay in opening that channel of communication with the west, that requires some explanation. These things call for prompt action om the part of the Legislature, in relation to the carrying of freight by the railroad along the line of the camel.— ‘The immense quantities of produce awaiting transporta- tion to market, and the far advancement of the season be_ fore it will be received by the old route, are strong rea, sons why this subject should be immediately disposed of. ince the late European advices came to hand, the ope- rations in this market in cotton have been very limited, and prices show a slight decline. The sudden collapse of the speculation got up in this country in this staple showa the great influence of the present state of the cur” rency onthese movements. A very systematic arrange’ ment was made throughout the States to keep supplies hack, so as to create abroad the necessary feeling to ad- vance prices on the other side. The plans laid succeed- ed toa certain extent, and for ashort time the excite- ment in the Liverpool market run very high, and prices ‘The fever was kept up by reports from this country, giving accounts of ashort crop. The sales of the week just previous to the explosion of the bubble, were larger than ever betore for the same time, but prices could not stand a further infla- tion, and the excitement instantly subsided, causing so great a depression in the market, that the sales of a week or two after could not reach even an ordinary extent.— Prices in the Liverpool market have not experienced so great a change as the extent of the sales. ‘That market nas now reached such a state, that accounts from this side have no effect on it, and the operations are confined principally to the wants of the consumers. The move- ments in the cotton markets of both countries, this sea- son, have been of so peculiar a nature, that many of our largest brokers and commission houses, who formerly were very heavy operators in the article, have not made asingle transaction since the new crop commenced com- ing forward. The most important feature in the move- ments of this staple is, the inability of those engaged to keep up the speculation. Capital seeking employment never was more abundant, and this important staple, so celebrated in the history of speculations, cannot be taken from the regular channels of advancement from picking to consumption.

It shows a great abundance of specie on hand :— ‘The past year shows a considerable falling off'in almost every branch of their business. The discounts of com- mercial paper, the advances on stocks, shares and bullion, all indicate @ decrease. The total of these operations in 1842 was 1,268,450,057f, while in 1843 they amounted to only 1,082,738,869f, presenting an increase of upwards of OOF. The gross profit ix diminished by 1,308,000f. ears operations are about the same as the aver. age revious nine years. The decrease in the amonnt of bills discounted is about 18 per cent on the total of 1842, and the decrease in the advances on stock is up- This last decrease ia axcribed in rt to the very low rate ofthe continuations upon stook in the Paris market, owing tothe great abundance ‘and probably much of the other decrease is to to the same cause, as the current rate at which money could be obtained has, for a considerable time past, boen much below the interest charged by the Bank of France. The advances on bullion, which have fallen from 20,000, 000f to 25,000,000f, are accounted for from the fact that much specie, both in bars and coined, has been ex It must, however, be observed, that the amount ‘of 26,000,000f, in 1842, is in itselfa considerable decline from the sum of 93,000,000f, to which it amounted in 1541; so that there appears to be a constant and progressive de cline in this department of their business. ‘The private accounts current preset The maximum in 184: minimnm 82,000 000f In 1848 the maximum was p5,000 and the minimum 34,000,000f The same observation op plies to the account current with the Treasury. ‘The circulation of notes is very nearly the same as in In 1842 the maximnm was 247 000,000f, In 1848 the maximam was from former diseas tities from the blood. cases of half dozen, $5, carefull; parts of the Union.
